I tried a bag of roasted seaweed I found at "Trader Joe's." Pretty interesting - it tastes like it has a lot of salt but the label says only 50mg in half the package. It's sorta crunchy like a potato chip, then it becomes like cooked spinach as you chew it.

I've heard there are benefits to seaweed but I forgot what they are. Anyway, half the bag has 8% Vitamin A & 20% Vitamin C, 2% Iron, 1gm. carb & 1gm fiber. I ate the whole bag.

No thanks. I tried it once as it was a gift from Japanese friends once. Yuk. It tastes like grass, only slimy. They also make 'chips' out of veggies. Green beans, carrots or whatever. Those were okay.

I am at Trader Joes almost weekly and Iwill look for it. My Trader Joes snack of choice is their peanut butter filled pretzels. A little high on the simple carbs but a few grams of protien.

What is the salt content? I do not restrict salt but because I am on BP meds I do try to be conciese of it and not add excess salt.

Just had a taste of it two days ago. Exactly as you described--tastes like cooked spinach. I like cooked spinach, but these are not my cup of tea for snacking. I'd rather have spinach leaves to makeup a small salad.

Someone else brought them into my house, but I won't be buying any for here. My 19-year old made the funniest face.

That sounds great! I'll have to find it. I like seaweed and by bags of it dried (but not roasted) from a local asian market. I put it in hot water to reheat it and eat it with vinegar and sesame oil.
